The Vice President of the European Commission Valdis Dombrovskis stressed the need to conclude Greece’s second program review as soon as possible to ensure the country’s economic recovery, during a speech at a conference of the American Enterprise Institute titled “Transatlantic cooperation – key for jobs and economic growth”, held in Washington DC.

“Of course it is difficult to discuss EU economy without touching upon Greece. So, let me say a couple of words on Greece. While still under the financial assistance program, Greece is also set to grow this year. Now, it is important to conclude the second review of the program as soon as possible to ensure that the Greek economic recovery continues and that Greece can return to markets in 2018,” he said.

“In this regard, we wish to count on decisive support from the US government when it comes to the IMF’s participation in the program,” he added.
